It all depends on the players.
I don't go out of my way to kill PC and if there is a plot reason for it, the player would have agreed before I do it.
As for bad dice it would depend on if the player put themselves into the position that the dice roll was needed or if it was part of the adventure gone wrong. If the first then "here is a new character sheet" if the second I will probably fudge the dice.
Now I also don't go out of my way to save stupid PC. If they throw themselves on a live grenade or try to single man a brute squad they just die.
Overall, I would say don't go gunning for the PCs, but also don't let them try to game the system or take advantage of you either.
